New children and Families Our Reception children have been in full time this week and we are all very pleased that they have settled so well. Miss Bates and Mrs. Procter have done a great job so far and I hope that both parents and children feel part of our school. Miss Bates is sending out a survey about the induction process and we hope that you will share your thoughts and ideas with us so that we can strive to keep improving our induction. We are still admitting new children throughout the school so a warm welcome is also extended to them

Tickets are £10 and all the proceeds are for the MS Society for which one of our parents does voluntary work. Tickets are available from Zoe on 02476 452425 or online at www.BADMOONEVENTS.WEBS.COMwww.BADMOONEVENTS.WEBS.COM Painting Overalls A quick reminder about painting overalls! Sometimes the children in all the classes are engaged in messy activities including painting. Could you send in an old shirt or apron please to cover your child’s uniform as it can be annoying if a clean uniform ends up covered in clay or paint! We do buy only washable paints but some parents have said it can be difficult to remove. Thank you. Reminder If you want to change from school meals to sandwiches and vice versa please let Mrs Weaver know a week in advance. As the weather gets colder lots of children prefer a hot meal. If you would like details please see Mrs. Weaver. Storystacks Mrs Holland still has two places left for this Monday afternoon group. Please contact her if you would like to join. School Clubs All places now allocated for Autumn Term, any child who returned the form but did not get place this term will be given priority in Spring Term, ie January.
